This holiday season, Macaroni KID Takoma Park-Silver Spring and Macaroni KID Bethesda-Chevy Chase-Potomac will be running a 12 Days of Giveaways promotion highlighting local businesses in our newsletter zip codes (see below for our distribution areas). We're inviting small businesses to be a part of this opportunity to reach thousands of local families in lower Montgomery County.


What is the 12 Days of Local Business Giveaways?

Each day for 12 days, we’ll feature a different local business and give away a prize generously donated by that business. Families in our community will enter the giveaway through our website, social media channels, and newsletter, driving engagement and attention to your business.

This is a great way to spread holiday cheer, while increasing your visibility among local families, just in time for the holidays!
